OAKLAND -- Roughly 15 hours after he was ejected from a game after receiving back-to-back technical fouls seconds apart, Kevin Durant walked to the edge of the accusation cliff and then backed away.
“Something happened over the last few years,” he said Friday afternoon, “that has people thinking, ‘Oh, man, KD has changed.’ I wonder what it is.”
Let’s see. What has happened over the last few years? Most notably, Durant became a free agent in July 2017 and changed addresses, moving from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Warriors, a move that was unpopular in the NBA commissioner’s office and also spawned a level of ridicule directed at Durant, as well as the Warriors receiving a degree of resentment among some fans and around the league.
